( open; ) summer episode part 2?

[uncourteous]

WHO: Any Outsider is more than welcome!
WHAT: Dating shows... I was bullied.
WHERE: Between Okinawa & Neo Tokyo.
WHEN: Throughout the remainder of July (listen, it's a production)!
WARNINGS: Partial nudity, alcohol, potential suggestive topics, and will update 'em as I see 'em!

Throughout the city of Neo Tokyo and even Okinawa, there will be advertisements posted by the hundreds (and spam mail to your oculars by an equal number), desiring candidates for a show. While the aftermath of vegas and other bleak instances might have led way for people practicing some semblance of moderation— opposite to that, the people also need their entertainment, don't they?

Fortunately, there will be an influx of dating shows looking for people to appear. They are offering a fairly decent amount of money and are even offering luxury experiences for free for participants. In this economy and food shortage??? Okay, the food may be lacking, but they do make up for it in various activities they have planned, where people can kick back, relax, and romance?

While there will be any number of shows looking for interested parties, these are the main shows/premises:

  SPEED DATING  

As the label suggests. People will be expected to sit down and switch through several partners. In their hands will be a card labeling who they encounter and a place to leave a check mark. They will also be given a list of questions that can be answered.

  PARTNER SWAP  

People can be on a show and swap partners. This doesn't necessarily need to be romantic, either. Have a friend you want to show up with, cool. The only rules are that the pairs who enter together cannot stay together during the duration of the show.

  SINGLES INFERNO  

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be trapped on a deserted island with other hot singles? Well, now you no longer have to wonder. They will need to cook and fend for themselves here with minimal activities or distraction— but, isn't that the point? All you need to focus on is each other! (* They will be ferried to an outer island by Okinawa). While on the island, which they label as inferno, it's also a rule that one cannot speak about their age, occupation, or any such personal details. All of this will be reserved for "paradise." To go to paradise, two individuals will need to pick one another, and if they do — they are able to go on to completed various luxury experiences together.

For those who would rather find paradise in inferno together, you can presume there are tents that act as shared dormitory quarters where contestants will stay together.

  DATE ME  

People are free to use this for just general dates. Maybe, you just want to finesse the system and enjoy a fun all-expense-paid for date in which you get to eat like relative kings and enjoy various experiences. Feel free to use anything in the setting to your desire.

  SKINSHIP STARTER  

... a show where you get paid the more skinship you do. Don't do anything you wouldn't do in a Wendy's though. (That's not how the saying actually goes).

  COMMENTARY PANEL  

Every good dating show needs those who simply sit and commentate, right?

* It can be assumed any of this is just open to general CR you want to spend time with, too. This is just supposed to be a silly log for chances for characters to get to know one another! Characters are more than welcome to assume they stumble upon this by accident, think it's just a basic job and can't leave, film or unfilmed (minus the commentary prompt), and whatever else! Feel free to tag freely, threadjack, etc!

I hardly need a lecture from you. [ With a soft huff. ]

Just worry more about your own relationships. [ And what is apparently causing that tiny touch of strain that Gebura sure is not qualified to touch on. ]

[ignoreher]

I might have my hands full, but my mouth's still free! So I'll advise you all I want!

[ though very much in a playful tone, since she won't really get on gebura's ass or nerves about it other than like, every other month to see how she's holding up on Making Connections... unlike with her fellow asiyah, malkuth simply doesn't have the same relationship. ]

Please tell me you've at least got some drinking buddies. Like, from you civilian job or something. I've made a couple of friends at university too, even if I can't always hang out with them.

[bemist]

[ Every other month. Surely by then she will have scared away all the people who want to bond with her. Excellent. A game plan. ]

Fine, if it'll get you off my back. There's one or two who aren't a pain in the ass. [ Though she doesn't linger long for those sessions. Just knocks one back and heads off. ]

[ignoreher]

[ yeah!!! that's her girl!!! one or two!!! satisfied. ]

Consider me off. I should probably ask the other two that too, but I trust they're getting along with others... for the most part. I just hope there's no bad influences in their lives.

[ a beat. ]

Well, one of them has, but I can handle it. He's terrified of me!

[bemist]

...

[ Her eyes narrow. ]

What do you mean "one of them has"?

[ Whose neck does she have to snap if this person decides to get brave? ]

[ignoreher]

[ ... does she... want to inflict gebura onto sampo... no, it's more like the other way around. ]

I think he's probably a bad influence, based on what someone from his world told me... but at the same time, he just sounds like anyone else trying to help others in a Backstreets-like place when we talked? So he's not an entirely evil person. Probably.

[ is this reassuring ]

But he's got a really punchable voice.

[bemist]

Well, if that's the case, then you can't really be blamed if you punch him.

[ Gebura, that's mean. ]

But if he's scared of you, that's fine. He's probably not going to risk being idiotic enough to get himself decked, and if he is, then he had it coming anyway.
